On Thursday AllThingsDigital announced that Sheryl Sandberg's first book, titled Lean In will be released by Knopf for publish in 2013. The title, described by Kara Swisher as a full of research and data and anecdotes of the experience of being one of the most talked-about women in tech, is meant to encourage and engage women in the workforce through the Facebook COO’s own story.

But Lean In is no memoir—that wouldn’t do from the woman who challenges women to work harder-better-faster-stronger no matter the cost—although we’d sure curl up with a cup of tea and read it. No,in the vein of Sandberg’s famous TED talk and commencement speeches, Knopf says the book will be a “call to action” for women everywhere to step to the challenge, “lean in” and rise up the ranks of corporate America.

The title comes from her advice in these speeches for women to lean in to their work rather than lean back, as many tend to do for a variety of reasons at key points in their careers.

But for many women, taking workplace advice from Sheryl Sandberg, who earned a salary of nearly $30 million in 2011, is a little like taking “basic” fashion advice from actress Gwyneth Paltrow, whose website GOOP tells me a Stella McCartney tank dress, at $471, is a budget-conscious pick.

Sandberg made headlines in 2012 when she told Inc. she regularly leaves the office by 5:30pm; for women a step below the C-suite calling it quits at that oh clock is an unthinkable luxury. She’s made speeches urging women not to “leave before you leave,” and to keep their feet on the pedal even when considering starting families. “The moment a woman starts thinking about having a child, she doesn’t raise her hand anymore” at work, Sandberg says. No promotions, no new projects, no taking a seat at the table. According to Sandberg, mommies lean back. And pave their path out of the work force for good.

She talks about the importance of “making your partner a real partner” and getting your significant other to pull his or her own weight with kids and at home. Which is all well and good--and great advice—except for the women who don’t have partners, or whose partners might work 80-hour weeks and spend the remaining 40 hours of the workweek hibernating in a darkened bedroom. If you don’t have those things, are you simply not good enough?

The problem with this kind of harder-better-faster-stronger advice is that it’s simply not applicable to the 99% of women in the workforce. If your salary is equal than or lesser to the cost of childcare—which for many new mothers is the case—it takes an often insurmountable amount of self-motivation to get yourself out the door and into the office every day. As the NY Times’ Jodi Cantor put it this summer, Sandberg’s advice is for “a woman has a sterling résumé, a supportive husband who speaks fluent car pool and a nurturing boss.” Oh… and one “who just happens to be one of the most powerful women in the world.”

For those of us without the expendable income and support system of the leading female executive at one of America’s most-talked about companies, Sandberg’s advice reads more like finger-wagging. Want to climb the ladder? It’s easy! Be better. Want more work-life balance? It’s simple! Be richer.

“I don’t have the right answer, I don’t even have it for myself,” she says at TED in 2010. But in the years that followed, Sandberg has become—and part of this could be blamed on the media—the poster-woman for the kind of career advice that places the blame on women. She may not have had the answers then, but by releasing a book touted as a “call to action,” she certainly seems to think she does now.

I’m just not ready to swallow the pill. Taking advice from a woman who can make her own rules doesn’t compute as a young woman who operates firmly under the thumb of her employer. Sure, it’s something to aspire to—but in the same way I aspire to buy $99 t-shirts in bulk like Gwyneth Paltrow so I never have to worry about laundry-day. In the same way I wish my hair looked like a Kardashian’s.

So while I will certainly pick up a copy of Lean Forward—and will read it hoping for insights that actually apply to my life and career—I won’t be expecting too much. I’m also hoping that while it’s not, according to her publisher, a memoir, that it includes lessons learned early in Sandberg’s career. I’d love to read about Sandberg’s career moves at 29. What did she learn as an assistant at the World Bank that affected her career path? She went through a divorce in 2004—did that shake her confidence? When, if ever, has Sheryl Sandberg struggled?

As a young woman, these are the stories I’d like to see told. These are the stories that could transform Sheryl Sandberg from an unattainable role model—almost a goddess, really—to a human being whose career I can emulate in hopes that one day I, too, can be among the richest, most powerful and well-adjusted women in the world.

Readers: What do you think? Does Sandberg's advice resonate with you? Does it ever leave you with that "not good enough" feeling? Let's talk.
